Any one point me in the right direction. I need a rear disc hub, 135mm 6 bolt. To complicate things it must be silver and Shimano 11 speed.
To further complicate things it must be sub 100 quid or better. This writes off Hope, King etc. Finally the silver that Shimano use is not what I am after. Could strip and polish something but that means a lot of work.
I suspect that its Novatec or similar .

    Actually no, that's not 11 speed is it? Blooming cheap though, who needs 11? :-D

    Edit: Plenty here too: http://www.superstarcomponents.com/en/s ... tain-hubs/

    Not Hope. Too expensive.

    That's odd. I'm running Hope Pro2 Evo hubs with Archetype rims on my PX London Road with an 11-speed SRAM cassette. They were previously on my Equilibrium Disc with Shimano 11-speed.

    This Hope info sheet suggests that the Pro2 Evo are 11-speed compatible

    I'd double check with Wiggle if you're not convinced

    Hmmmm.
    Hope told me Pro 4 only.
    You are running a normal 11 speed cassette aren't you?

    My MTB has a Hope Pro2 with an 11-speed XTR Casette. I wasn't sure so asked Hope themselves...
    Condor Super Acciaio, Record, Deda, Pacentis.
    Curtis 853 Handbuilt MTB, XTR, DT Swiss and lots of Hope.
    Genesis Datum Gravel Bike, Pacentis (again).
    Genesis Equilibrium Disc, 105 & H-Plus-Son.

    Mostly Steel.

    Isn't an XTR 11 speed actually the same width as a normal 10 speeder? Its to run a normal 11 speed cassette not a XTR type thing.

    Yes I was running the 105 5800 11-speed 11-32 cassette on my Equilibrium Disc. The Planet X London Road came with SRAM Rival 22 and the cassette was the 11-speed SRAM PG1130 11-32 cassette. In both cases they were standard road cassettes and fitted perfectly onto the Hope Pro2 Evo hubs

    JRA do the Hope hubs which are out of budget at £160, they also do the freehub but I guess you would have to find a bargain of a hub shell on eBay or whatnot.
    The path of my life is strewn with cowpats from the devil's own satanic herd.

    Halo 6d is available in silver. You might find one for 100 quid or less if you shop around.

    I know you are saying sub £100, but as others have mentioned Hope every time.

    I now have Hope hubs on all my bikes - 10 and 11 speed. Winter bike has Pro 2 disk and has done four winters without even a hint of wear and it has never been touched. Best new summer bike has Pro 2 disk with 11speed Shimano Di2. Absolutely sublime. I highly recommend them and they are worth every penny. If you buy something else make sure you get feedback on reliability and serviceability to ensure they don't end up costing you more than the Hope option in the longer term...
